For more than 37 years, K Kamalathal of Vadivelampalayam village in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore district has been selling homemade Idli and Sambar for just Re.1. Anand Mahindra was drawn to Idli Amma’s story after it became viral in 2019.
He was moved by her selflessness and generosity of heart and resolved to assist her.
Later, in April 2021, the businessman went one step farther and promised her her own home.
